*** Official #16 Texas Tech vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[fsanford]

They might be better without Toppin, can't believe I am saying that. They are not focused to run the offense through him.

 

[Freebird]

most inexcusable half of basketball this team play under Otz and I don’t think it’s even close

 

[awd4cy]

what is with TJ and getting blown out at home? For as good as our home record is, I can’t figure out why the losses are big so often when we do lose.

 

[helechopper]

Hilton dogsh1t.

 

[trevn]

Down 16 feels like a win. Oof.

 

[GoSTATE71]

I retract my statement about Buchanan needed those two buckets but man what an absolutely pathetic effort by this team at home against an injured tech team

 

[2122]

woof

 

[Cyhig]

Tech can’t shoot this well for another 20 minutes, right?

 

[aeroclone]

Checking out on this one, will watch the recording later if they pull it out. Just a disgusting effort in the first half.

 

[HouClone]

Tech running circles around us. Pathetic.

 

[NYCYFan]

I am kind of shocked how unprepared we look. This is the last big game a lot of this core will probably be playing in Hilton.

Not just getting outplayed but getting outhustled. A shocking lack of effort being displayed and even worse execution offensively and defensively.

 

[Malone]

This is a coaching failure top to bottom. We might come back, but that is a HORRENDOUS first half that could’ve been nipped in the bud multiple times.

 

[Prone2Clone]

**** **** ****** **** ****

 

[GT25Ump]

I can't believe how many of you are unwilling to give TT props for how well they're shooting/playing. They're putting on a clinic. It isn't always about how bad we're playing.

Tech can’t shoot this well for another 20 minutes, right?

They can if we leave them wide open and also give up uncontested layups.

 

[CyGuy5]

Just checked the score from the golf course, what the actual hell?? Pathetic

 

[ISU_Guy]

Hilton dogsh1t.

I hope people don’t put this on the crowd. There has been nothing to get loud about

 

[Jnecker4cy]

Hard to play defense when fouls are being called like they are. Unpredictable

We have been called for 6 total fouls, let's stop on it being a ref issue.

 

[Cymark86]

There has to be a better defensive plan than letting 45% 3 pt shooters have wide open looks

Yeah, the trap can be used effectively at times, but good coaches and teams will pick it apart.

 

[Dannynoonan]

I’d rather have Milan shoot a three than JJ driving and missing bunnies. Milan is probably 20 % higher from 3 than JJ is driving and shooting from 5’ and in. Another turd performance.
